| Rugged +
Waterproof to 33ft (10m) |
Completely
waterproof and as tough as ever, HERO12 Black is ready to capture the fun on
any adventure. Its legendary durability can take a beating and keep going,
whether you’re ripping through mud, snow or water (down to 33ft/10m). A
water-repelling lens cover even helps eliminate lens flare and other
artifacts to make your photos and videos even more stunning. |
| 2x Longer
Runtime (1) |
HERO12
Black’s dramatically improved battery efficiency combines with the included
1720mAh Enduro battery to deliver a huge 2x increase in 5.3K60 video runtime
on each charge. You’ll get 70 minutes of continuous recording at 5.3K60 (our
highest setting), plus over 1.5 hours at 5.3K30 and over 2.5 hours of
continuous recording at 1080p30.6 Using advanced technology, Enduro also
boosts performance in cold temperatures over previous GoPro cameras and
batteries. |
| High Dynamic
Range Video + Photo |
HERO12
Black takes its best-in-class image quality to the next level with HDR for
both videos (5.3K and 4K) and photos. Great in environments with both shadows
and bright light, HDR captures the subtle details of the scene that might
typically blend into the darkness of shadows or disappear in the bright spots
of your shot. The result is dynamic footage with true-to-life color and
precision. |
| Unbelievable
Image Quality |
With
5.3K video that gives you 91% more resolution than 4K and an incredible 665%
more than 1080p, HERO12 Black captures the action with crisp detail and
cinematic image quality with High Dynamic Range (HDR) while also taking 27MP
photos. You can also grab stunning photos up to 24.7MP of your favorite shots
from your videos using the GoPro Quik app. |
| Up to 8x Slo-Mo |
Everything
is more awesome in slow motion. HERO12 Black lets you record the action at up
to 8x slo-mo at resolutions up to 2.7K for playback at normal speed or in
super fluid slow motion to catch epic details that you’d never be able to see
with the naked eye. |
| Emmy® Award-Winning HyperSmooth 6.0 Stabilization |
HyperSmooth
continues to set the bar for insanely smooth footage and has the hardware to
back it up—a 2021 Emmy® for In-Camera Sensor and Software Stabilization.
HERO12 Black makes it even better by maximizing HyperSmooth AutoBoost
performance with more stabilization while still delivering less image
cropping. Bike, skate, ski, chase your kids through the park or get awesome
pet POV shots—even the shakiest footage comes out silky smooth. |
| 360° Horizon
Lock |
Give
your videos the look of professional productions by keeping the horizon
steady, straight and smooth. HERO12 Black’s Linear + Horizon Lock digital
lens keeps your footage steady even if your camera rotates a full 360° during
capture (4). Combined with HyperSmooth, Horizon Lock gives you super smooth
footage that looks perfectly straight when you want it to. You won’t need a
gimbal or stabilization software for pro-quality results. |
| Extra-Large
Field of View |
HERO12
Black’s powerful image sensor delivers the most expansive field of view ever
on a HERO camera out of the box. It features extra-large 8:7 aspect ratio
footage that gets more of the sky and horizon in each shot—giving you a huge
canvas for your creativity. Simply use the GoPro Quik app to zoom in, crop
and edit your shots while keeping the rich textures and sharpness of your
footage. HERO12 Black takes 8:7 a step further with HyperView. This
GoPro-exclusive digital lens takes 8:7 footage and serves it up as a
wide-angle 16:9 shot. The result is ultra-immersive video that amps up
action-oriented POV footage by capturing more of you and your surroundings. |
| Compatible with the New Max Lens Mod 2.0 (7) |
Add
Max Lens Mod 2.0 to HERO12 Black to transform it into the ultimate POV camera
with the widest field of view (FOV) ever on a HERO camera, at 177° (up from
the 155° FOV of the original Max Lens Mod). With a 36% larger field of view
(FOV) for widescreen capture and 48% larger for vertical capture (8), it
delivers the most immersive video in stunning 4K60 resolution and the highest
stabilization, Max HyperSmooth. You’ll also get Horizon Lock for all lenses,
plus 1080p120 video for ultra stable 4x slo-mo footage with a maxed out FOV. |
| 8-Bit, 10-Bit
+ Log Encoding |
HERO12
Black lets you choose between capturing 8-bit, 10-bit or Log encoding with
GP-Log. Capable of displaying over 1 billion colors, 10-bit color delivers
enhanced color depth, smoother gradations and more realism in your videos,
while 8-bit offers smaller file sizes. Advanced users can use GP-Log to get
more detail in their footage while making necessary color adjustments in
post-production. |
| Timecode Sync |
Advanced
users with more than one HERO12 Black can sync them with the exact same
timecode to make multi-camera editing a lot easier. It works with Final Cut
Pro, Adobe Premier and other editing software to further streamline
post-production. |

audio lets you wirelessly connect HERO12 Black to compatible devices.
Vloggers will be able connect to a wireless external microphone for enhanced

and is doing what you want. |
| Night Effects
Time Lapse + Photo |

HERO12 Black features 3 time lapse and photo modes that let you get creative

beautiful light trails across the night sky. Light Painting lets you create
brilliant brush stroke effects with moving light. Vehicle Light Trails uses
night-time traffic to record stunning light trail shots. |

Nail
shots the easy way with Power Tools. The new interval photo feature can be
set to capture all the action by snapping photos at fixed intervals while you
stay focused on your favorite activities. HindSight captures up to 30 seconds
of footage before you start recording—even if you press the shutter too late,
you’ll still get the shot. There’s also Scheduled Capture, which lets you set
your GoPro to turn itself on and capture a shot up to 24 hours in advance,
and Duration Capture, which makes it easy to capture video clips from 15
seconds to 3 hours long. |

| Widescreen, Vertical + Full Screen Capture |
HERO12
Black’s Easy Controls make it easier than ever to get exactly the shot you
need. You can quickly swap between recording widescreen footage (16:9 aspect
ratio) for full-screen playback on a TV or YouTube and vertical videos (9:16
aspect ratio) for watching on your phone or posting on social media. For
maximum flexibility, the full screen option records in the ultra versatile
8:7 aspect ratio. This captures more of the scene and lets you crop and zoom
in without losing the details of your shot. This makes it perfect for
